<div>Yes, we first started experiencing the problem back when yahoo.com changed their DMARC policy to a strict reject.</div>
<div>We didn’t have many yahoo.com senders on our lists surprisingly so the problem wasn’t a huge deal.</div>
<div>We were waiting on a vendor back port patch (CentOS via Redhat) to help with header munging for senders with strict reject DMARC policies.</div>
<div>The back port patch was ready back in August but we didn’t have time to fully test.</div>
<div>We have completed testing as of this morning and plan schedule the change for this weekend.</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>The change will be almost transparent with exception to senders from domains with strict reject DMARC policies.</div>
<div>In this case, the “from:” will be replaced with the list address and we will insert a “reply-to:” header with the senders address.</div>
<div>Our testing indicates this is working flawlessly with the vendor patch.</div>
